ELECTRIC CONTROLLED COUPLING
Operation Principle
1. AWD control unit supplies command current to electric controlled coupling (AWD solenoid).
2. Control clutch is engaged by electromagnet and torque is detected in control clutch.
3. The cam operates in response to control clutch torque and applies pressure to main clutch.
4. Main clutch transmits torque to front wheels according to pressing power.
Transmission torque to front wheels is determined according
to command current.
AWD CONTROL UNIT
Controls distribution of drive power between rear-wheel drive
(0:100) and AWD (50:50) conditions according to signals from
sensors.
Self-diagnosis can be done with CONSULT-II.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSESPFP:00004
How to Perform Trouble DiagnosesNES000JU
BASIC CONCEPT
The most important point to perform trouble diagnosis is to understand systems (control and mechanism)
in vehicle thoroughly.
It is also important to clarify customer complaints before inspec-
tion.
First of all, reproduce symptom, and understand it fully.
Ask customer about his/her complaints carefully. In some cases,
they will be necessary to check symptom by driving vehicle with
customer.
CAUTION:
Customers are not professionals. Do not assume “maybe
customer means...” or “maybe the customer mentioned this
symptom”.
It is essential to check symptoms right from beginning in order to
repair a malfunction completely.
For an intermittent malfunction, it is important to reproduce
symptom based on interview with customer and past examples.
Do not perform inspection on ad hoc basis. Most intermittent
malfunctions are caused by poor contacts. In this case, it will be
effective to shake suspected harness or connector by hand.
When repairs are performed without any symptom check, no
one can judge if malfunction has actually been eliminated.
Always diagnosis, make sure to perform “ERASE MEMORY”.
Always read “GI General information” to confirm general precau-
tions. Refer to GI-4, "
General Precautions" .

Transmitter Wake Up OperationNES000JZ
WITH TRANSMITTER ACTIVATION TOOL
1. With the activation tool [SST: J-45295] pushed against the front-
left transmitter, press and hold the button for 5 seconds.
When ignition switch ON, as the low tire pressure warning
lamp blinks per the follow diagram, the respective transmitter
then must be woken up.
2. Register the ID of wheel that warning lamp flashes. When wake up of registered wheel has been com-
pleted, turn signal lamp flashes two times.
3. After completing wake up all transmitters, make sure low tire pressure warning lamp goes out.

FRONT WIPER AND WASHER SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
BCM reads combination switch (wiper) status, and controls front wipers according to the results.
BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5)
and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).
Operation Description
BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically and allows current to flow in turn.
If any (one or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input terminals
(INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow. When volt-
age of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in BCM detects volt-
age change, and BCM determines that the switch is ON.
BCM - Operation Table of Combination Switches
BCM reads operation status of combination switch using combinations shown in table below.
